Thank you, Madam Chair.
My first question is for Dr. Konzuk.
I absolutely heard the advocacy for spending on defence. I think some of your colleagues have good examples from the Dover Air Force Base—my research had examples from the Vandenberg Space Force Base—of something that was done very well by our neighbours to the south and that we can learn from.
Likewise, on your comments about interprovincial barriers, we've certainly heard about that, not just on the environmental side through you, but also on health—for example with drug approvals and things like that being different across the country.
What I was hoping you could elaborate on a bit more is the work you've done with NSERC, particularly on the alliance grants, and the idea you're bringing forward on commercialization-focused consortiums. How do you see this working, and what role would NSERC and/or the federal government have in that?
